A staple of 1950s sophistication, this fitted bolero jacket pattern offers two timeless variations, one with a graceful shawl collar and another with a sleek, low cut-out neckline. The design features elegant horizontal seaming that unites the front and back sections, creating a beautifully tailored fit. Three-quarter length dolman sleeves add a soft drape and effortless charm.
Perfect for pairing with cocktail dresses or high-waisted skirts, this bolero brings that polished midcentury silhouette to life — the kind of piece that completes any vintage-inspired wardrobe. Whether sewn in crisp taffeta or soft wool, it’s a versatile, flattering layer for day or evening wear.
